Goodbye, January.

I can't believe that the first month of 2012 is already at a close. 

To be honest, January was.. okay. It wasn't amazing but I didn't find it horrible either. I think of it more as a "steppingstone month" for the things to come this year. It was the month which grounded me and made me decide how I want to live the rest of the year.  It also helped that I did a lot of soul-searching to realize what it is that I really want.

I thank God for all the blessings and for also keeping everyone I love safe. I learned this month how I should never take the time I spend with the people I care about for granted because you never know what the next day may bring. Just knowing that I was able to spend this month with the people who matter to me, makes me feel content. Somehow this month has managed to help me realize a lot of important life lessons. 

Just thinking that February is already starting tomorrow makes me feel quite giddy. I'm not really sure why. I guess the thought of a new month always makes me feel that it's a start of amazing things to come. I do hope that February will be a better month for me (and for everyone else) than January was. But I also know that that can only happen if I make it happen. I can't just leave everything to chance. It's time for me to go beyond my comfort zone and take action. These past few weeks have made me realize how I should learn to move forward and let go of the things that hurt me. I should learn how to focus on those things which make me better and also challenge me to grow more as a person.

All seriousness aside though, I've also decided to do the 30 day challenge! It's something I've never done faithfully before so I hope that I will be able to do so now ☺

Here's a sneak peek of the "challenges" that I'm gonna do/the coming topics for my next blogs ☺
